HO in progress report for cancer patient

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
I have looked this up, but the context does not seem to fit other answers. Could be a typo, but this is the line in a medical report following up on a patient with stage IV prostate cancer:
EXAMEN FISICO:
GU: HO en buen estado, no masas

So it's definitely not "hospitalization" or "hospital", orthostatic hypertension, or oral hypoglycemics, any suggestions welcome. Thank you!
Proposed translations (English)
4 -1 Heme Oxigenase

Joseph You should put that as an answer. We can't be sure, but it seems a strong possibility.
Chema Nieto Castañón Jun 29, 2022:
Con Joseph (y Marie también); en el contexto de una exploración física, la referencia a la herida quirúrgica (herida operatoria) parece la más razonable en este caso.
Marie Wilson Jun 29, 2022:
@Joseph Sometimes the most obvious thing isn't that obvious! Don't know why I didn't make that connection!
Joseph Tein Jun 29, 2022:
@Marie Hola Marie. Cosnautas shows that HO can also stand for Herida Operatoria, which would fit nicely.
Marie Wilson Jun 29, 2022:
If it's a typo, could be herida quirúrgica (HQ).

Heme Oxigenase

Glucocorticoids are used during prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. However, they may also have the potential to drive castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) growth via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Given the association between inflammation and PCa, and the anti-inflammatory role of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), we aimed at identifying the molecular processes governed by the interaction between HO-1 and GR.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : But this is a physical exam, not a lab test. And I'm not sure it fits with "en buen estado, no masas".

disagree Joseph Tein : How do you think that "heme oxYgenase" (even if it were "hemo oxigenasa" can be described as "en buen estado"? Your answer has to fit the context.
